Portmanteau

Portmanteau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a blend of two (or more) words or morphemes and their meanings into one new word

I had no idea there was a word to describe the creation of other words like "fantabulous", "blitzkrieg", "addlebrained", "hawtsome", "thunderbating", and the entire class of fantastic's: "shredtastic", "radtastic", "craptastic".
so what do we call CarrotTop now?

CRAPTASTIC



Why does this image turn up when you google image search for "Craptastic"?
The mystery continues…

Grizz is back



It's Friday and we need a good story. There's WAY too much downer stuff out there on the news front. And TOM II the Tiger ("Tigers Of Memphis", mascot for U of Memphis) actually died. Luckily Grizz is back in action this year and is officially in remission from his bout with Lymphoma.

  • Return of the Grizz
  • Fans root for Mascot
